well a promise is a promise;

i'm not gonna lie:
i'm still stuck on the past
but it just reminds me that nothing is built to last.

never is a promise;

this year was one of realizations.
this year was one of complications.


next year, i promise, i'll know better.
i'll never do that again.

twist and turn like a skeleton key;

back home and everything begins to peel apart. oh exposed orange heart.
i miss what i could never grasp, could never ask:
when will you not be afraid?

undreaming wish zine;

Issue #1/$1.00/5"x6"/20 pgs

i love you;

i'm going to try to untangle my words
to tell you i don't care about summers and winters
to tell you i want to change like the leaves for you

let down your hair;

if you haven't already noticed
the closer you get
the more i want to run.

so i'll say anything to make you laugh;

you think i'm silly but i'm sorry
i can't look you in the eye sometimes
(i feel it all over my body when you smile)

you can't get here fast enough;

I am a tiger, hidden stripes and sharp teeth.
& you cannot catch me, cannot touch me.
i run too fast.

a good start;

I am a girl who wants to understand.
I no longer want to drift aimlessly, letting the waves crash over me.
i want to turn the tides.
